Chapter 29: Not Goodbye, See You Later
"We're going, we're actually going!" Amanda stated in a daze, as we all grabbed out suitcases and headed outside.
Belle yawned. It was earlier than I've ever been up, and the same goes for them.
We had to walk over to the park, that was where the bus was scheduled to pick us up. Don't ask us why, that's just what Peter told us.
Sage looked half dead while she was walking. I tried not to laugh, she looked like something out of a zombie movie. Johnny was the only one that was fully awake, and he was pushing Bethany along in her carriage, and she was fast asleep. Belle and Amanda didn't look any better then Sage, but I guess I really didn't either. I kept tripping over myself, and almost hitting into poles.
We would have taken the bus but I lent it to Steve until we came back. I swear if he gets one scratch on it I'll kill him. He came over that morning, to say goodbye to Amanda. It ended up being their last make-out session in a long time. Two-Bit dropped by, too. He didn't make-out with Belle though, which was good. I didn't even want to watch Amanda, I really wouldn't want to watch Belle. They said bye to Johnny too. The Curtis's dropped by too, to say goodbye. Soda gave Bethany his old stuffed lamb from when he was a baby. I thought that was sweet. She was holding it tightly now.
Dally hadn't dropped by though. Hadn't even called. I was upset, but he has better things to do I'm sure...
We got up to where the bus was, and it was bigger than our house and Darry's put together. I stared at it in awe.
"This thing is bigger than...than...than...than everything!" Amanda exclaimed.
"That's not a bus! This is a house on wheels, man!" Johnny commented.
Sage looked up at it and yawned, "They better have a lot of pillows..."
"Hey girls, and Johnny!" Peter hopped off the bus and greeted us. We yawned in reply.
"You ready to go?"
"Yeah, sure. Just can we sleep?"
He laughed, "Sure you can sleep."
The girls headed inside, and Peter helped Johnny get the carriage up the steps.
I looked around at everything. I was going to miss this dumpy town. It felt more like a home to me than New York, my real home ever did. I ran away from there and I was glad to. I'd never go back. But leaving Tulsa, I felt low. Maybe it wasn't Tulsa that made it feel so right to be in, but rather the people here.
Even though each of the guys have their own problems, they pull through it all together. Like one big family. And each of them knows the other ones have their back. They always have a place to go to when they can't go home, or don't want to. Steve, Two-Bit, Ponyboy, Sodapop, Darry, Dally, and Johnny, they're the moral center of my universe.
After taking a deep breathe, I stepped onto the bus.
"Wait!" I recognized the voice that was shouting at me, it was Dally. I turned around and stood there, waiting for him to catch up.
"I didn't get to say goodbye," he explained as he reached me.
"Don't say goodbye. Goodbye's are final. Just tell me you'll see me later," I walked off the bus and stood in front of him.
"Okay," he uttered. I could tell he was a little sad.
I hugged him, even though he hates being hugged. It embarrasses him, or at least his rep.
Dally wrapped his sturdy arms around me and squeezed me.
I pulled away from him, and smiled. "See you later."
"See you later."
I stepped back onto the bus and didn't look back at him. I took a seat on a couch by a window and looked out it. Soon the lamps looked like one long fence, and I knew that my life was just beginning.
I hate writing endings! I never know how to! But I hope you all like it! It is now complete! I probably won't have the sequel up for a few weeks. But I will have it up. You know what was ironic? I was just listening to One Year, Six Months by Yellowcard while writing this chapter, which made me feel sadder. I'm going to miss all my reviewers and all the things you've said. You were all the only reason I kept on writing, otherwise I would have never finished! Woohoo! My first story ever finished! Hope you all enjoyed! Toodles!
